Solutions!

I believe we have the capacity to develop a sense of community that respects and enriches everybody. The growing disparity in the distribution of wealth, environmental degradation, and needless human suffering are some of the problems that can be reversed within our lifetime. Carl Sagan suggested, in Cosmos, that we have the capacity to provide "...an abundant and meaningful life for every inhabitant of the planet." I believe him but also know that we have a responsibility in persuading our government to act in a reasonable manner as well. Also, our own huge population explosion, itself, darkens the future and is a problem that must be addressed if we hope to maintain freedom, Democracy, and basic human dignity.

Throughout my web pages I do a whole lot of complaining. Nevertheless, I do have a number of ideas, or solutions, to combat the various problems I've identified on my site. In addition to all of my public volunteerism, in an effort to solve these problems, I am also offering this list of solutions:

Start addressing (controlling) our population problem now! Do this by controlling our borders and limiting family size. The family size can be addressed, instantly and painlessly, by immediately dropping all tax incentives for having children.

Tax gasoline and diesel fuels at an even higher rate - not only would this discourage our wasteful transportation habits but it would help clean the air and fill government coffers all in one fell swoop!

Treat Arab peoples better, much better. This would help reduce terrorism substantially while improving our image around the world in general. Placing restraints on Israel, and its treatment of Palestinians, would go a long way toward this end too.

Provide a quality education for every single American kid who wants it - we're the richest country in the world and can certainly send our youth to college as easily as we send 'em to war!

Provide some kind of universal health care to protect all Americans from catostrophic injury and illness. Again, we spend more on our military than the next 12 countries combined - the least we could do is provide a simple, basic health care package for those of our countrymen in need!

Get rid of Daylight Savings Time (Okay, not a very important issue but it's always bugged the heck out of me - I lived in Hawaii, for a few years, and we never jumped our clocks forward or let them fall backwards and we seemed to have survived it all just fine!).

Get all signs of religion out of our government! Look at it this way, what if it was a rival religion's slogan all over your money, in your courtroom, and at your military ceremony - how would you feel then???

Label all genetically modificed (GMO) food - let the buyer know!
